In the wake of Enron SWA pilots are gonna have to look long and hard at their retirement as it is based entirely on company stock.

Those crewmembers who vote in independent unions must survive on their own-but are some of these unions voted in only in order to appear more welcomed by their managements (with a less abrasive image?), but at the price of having only an average contract, compared to their main competitors?

But can such associations finance a realistic "war chest", while charging typical union dues? This war chest might be needed in case of serious changes among mgmt attitudes in the future.

Whoever claimed/claims that doctors' or lawyers associations (AMA/ABA...) are not trade unions is a liar or totally ignorant.

The Verdict is in.
ALPA wins by the biggest landslide vote in FPA history...
